Todd,

How big is the page? Maybe we can just put the whole thing into the files
section.

As you may recall I went through this exercise with you a few months ago. As
we discussed then 8-bit seems to be fine most of the time but you cannot
always tell from the on screen view if the print will experience
posterization. This has really hit me using the RGB separation curves with
the MIS VM inks. The curves are pretty steep and increase the combing which
can trash the data past the safe point forcing me into 16-bit.

Martin

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
